Rusty’s: Pie No. 4

How do you know if you’re eating a good slice of pie? You know because it makes you weak in the knees. At least that’s the criteria I set in my first blog post about my hunt for the best slice of pie along the Mississippi River. Well, the chocolate cream from Rusty’s Riverside Grill in Vicksburg, Miss., certainly did the trick and we limped back to the restaurant the next day for a second slice of this scrumptious dessert with a creamy filling that tastes like a melted dark chocolate bar. Crust: perfectly crisp though slightly tasteless. It was more cracker than cookie like, but the rich filling made up for it. Rating: 4.

I’m noticing a trend: The pie seems to get more delicious the farther south we go. Looking forward to New Orleans…
